With today's release of Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City, featuring The Ballad of Gay Tony, we can safely confirm that Grand Theft Auto IV has come to a conclusion in further development. With that, we're excited to open this new forum dedicated to all news, speculation, and discussion related to the next major title of the GTA series to be released.

PLEASE NOTE: A number of pre-existing topics relative to the next game have already been moved into this forum.

Always seems to be the first one figured out, at least it was with GTA IV. Trailer clearly revealed Liberty City. Although Niko too was revealed, details about him were unknown until the first preview a couple weeks later.

Very true.
I'm just wondering now about this business at the end of TBOGT.

This thing about Packie being in the closing credits going to the airport. Packie in Vice City perhaps? I mean after all this time R* went through the trouble to include an entirely new radio station dedicated to it. I just think Packie could be the new Tommy Vercetti. A Liberty transplant with a very unique personality. He has lost just about everything he cared about in Liberty which would make him a dangerous man in Vice.

There are so many possibilities. My friends that also play GTA and I are actually discussing these possibilities right now. One thinks that bogus Harbour City shit could be an actual possibility. I call bullshit and send him to fetch me another beer. Really though, it's wide open now. With the new platforms and engine the next title is going to be great.
